Talk to me about Fitbit Flex!



Recommended Posts

There are lots of people in this forum who use MFP with Fitbit very successfully. I have been using both, in sync since September 2013. I also received the "Aria scale" as a gift and have that linked to my FitBit

In the MFP App there is a section called Apps & Devices. Click it open and a list of programs and devices that sync with MFP appear. Follow the directions.You will need to start an online account at both sites.

Also here is a link to FitBit help. Good luck!

I have been using my fitbit since November and have synced it with MFP and the Aria scale. I just love it! It motivates me to park further away, take the stairs and challenge myself to increase my amount of activity everyday. MFP is the best food, diary tool out there and syncs perfectly with my fitbit. The Aria scale is also a great tool. All of these items/apps have been essential tools in my weight loss journey.

hey,what exactly is a fitnes flex?

It is part of the newer pedometers. It's a little 'bracelet' that you wear to track your steps. It will sync wirelessly with myfitnesspal and some other programs to record your steps/fitness.

My dog chewed up my fitbit. Can't wait to get a new one. I have the scale also. It's so handy.

I still have the recalled force. I like the display too much to give it back. I put a bandaid to cover the area where they said people were getting rashes (one of the metallic contacts) and I've been ok. Lol.

Been debating about trading it in for the fitbit force or one of the other devices.

The fitbit flex is awesome. I am not sure why the reviews aren't stellar, but I know 5 other people who have the fitbit flex and they love it as much as I do!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
